Like a River


What is it about rivers that are calming and inviting to the soul?  It is the sound of the trickling rolling water?  Or the grasses at the river’s edge that sway in the flowing water?

Why is it said “life is like a river”?  Is it because rivers are ever flowing gracefully along and ever transforming our world just as our lives are altered by minor or major events?  Perhaps life is like a river because there are calm soothing waters and cascades at times that surge and tumble our lives into momentary chaos.  

Pandemonium!

Yet in the end the waters again quiet and tranquility returns to our lives.   

Like a river!

May the waterfalls in your life be brief and may peaceful serenity long linger most of your days.
